A 31-year-old man has filed a $25 million lawsuit against the Fairfield Police Department, saying he lost his left eye after officers used a Taser gun on him.

Jerome Hill stated in his complaint that police hit him in his eye, back and thigh with a Taser after they forcibly removed him from a parked car in 2014. The San Francisco Chronicle -- KCRA 3's content-sharing partner in Hearst Television -- reported the lawsuit was filed in U.S. District Court on Thursday.

The eye was later removed as it had been pulverized, according to the complaint.

Fairfield police declined to comment, citing a policy of not discussing pending litigation.
